Gravity
Gravity pulls water from a high _______ to a low _______.
What is elevation
What do we call it when water moves through plants
What is transpiration
These are the three states of matter
What is solid, liquid, and gas
Molecules are made up of these
What are atoms
What is a system boundary
Water comes down from the clouds as rain, snow, ice, hail, etc. What is the scientific word for this?
What is precipitation
Water can dry up, or _______________ in the sun faster than in the dark.
What is evaporation
When water exists as a gas, we usually call it this
What is water vapor
There are lots of gases around us. What do we call the gas molecules we breathe out?
What is carbon dioxide
Name two water reservoirs in Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo River, Gull Lake, puddle, pond, water tower, etc
This is what we call it when water soaks into the ground
What is infiltration
Water is taken up by these in the plant during transpiration
What are roots
Molecules in a solid are said to move in this way
What is jiggling or vibrating
This state of matter has molecules that have little energy and are packed tight
What is a solid
This is the surface type that will create most runoff
What is man made
This type of ground cover has the highest infiltration.
What is forest
One acre of corn can transpire 3,000-4,000 gallons of water over one day. True or false.
What is true
In this state, the molecules have no definite shape but they do have definite volume
What is a liquid
Molecules in this state have lots of energy and quick, random movements
What is gas
What are the two energy drivers for water movement we discussed in class
What are sunlight and gravity
Water moves more as run off over these types of surfaces.
What are man made?
Water molecules "stick" to each other during transpiration by this force.
What is cohesion
This is how we describe the spacing between the molecules in a liquid
What is flowing or sliding past one another
What is the formula for water?
What is H2O.
This is what happens to a solid when it turns into a liquid
What is adding thermal energy
